There are always questions when
it comes to the use of the Internet. Many people
are skeptical because of some of the bad press
it gets from the media (not intentional) but it is understandable;
that is why we are developing this Web site to
be family safe in all possible ways; from
monitoring by manual input of information, to as
simple as making our Web site easy and fast to
navigate with very few graphics using basic HTML
coding. We are always working on the FAQ's; if you
have a question and it is not listed below... please
feel free to ask your question by submitting it
to:

We are here to help!!!
- Who is The Networking Pros?
The Networking Pros and all of its
affiliated networks are here to
provide clean decisive advertising for users
browsing the Internet.
We help everyone to find or be found on the
Internet; and make
sure that advertisers on this network are not or
associated with businesses that cater to less than
family-friendly content.
- What are the benefits to
listing here?
Unlike other business networking directories on the Internet today, most are
totally automated and allow advertisers to list
whatever they want or go in to change their listing
to suite their needs and this sometimes
allows for undesired content. Most also have Web sites
designed with the BIG flash programming and
site search results that deliver no more
than a WOW factor. "Almost" all of them do
it with the exception being...
The Networking Pros.
We manually build and list on this network and encourage you to
report any non-family-safe content, illegal
activity or
advertisements on this site. Additionally, if any site listed here links to a site with
this type of content, please
report it here. We are going to do
our best to break that chain!
- How does networking benefit
my business or for the consumer... how does
it help me find what I need?
The search engine optimization companies
(SEO's), claim they can get you top ten
rankings on the search engines. The funny
thing is, they (not just one SEO company)
promise the EXACT same thing to thousands of
other businesses just like yours wanting
that position. How do they squeeze all those
promises on the front page a "any' search
engine? The answer is they can't!
Networking with an industry related Web
site will give you greater exposure to the
search engines; but only if you or your Web
Master knows how to properly set up your Web
site. When you are on a network that has
become ranked high in your industry, you
will be found through that network.
The Networking Pros provides
listings that have been input manually and
indexed by region, category and then in
alphabetical order. Making it easy for the
visitor trying to find a product or service
with just a few clicks.
- How do I know the people or
companies listed are legitimate?
That is a very good question and probably
should be number one. Part of the
responsibility of a savvy consumer is to
check out who they are doing business with
through their local BBB or other consumer
reporting agency. That is OUR number one
reason for developing a directory that must
be hand built. With other directory sites,
they allow virtually anything through
automated listings.
Automated listings (could) allow for the
quick buck maker (scammer) to post a listing
to collect a little money from the
unsuspected consumer and then RUN!!! It is
difficult to track these degenerates down
because of this practice.
By not using any type of automated source
for listing on this network, The Networking Pros and all of its
affiliated
networks, is your front line attempt
to stop scammers in their place. It is
possible to get listed, but we depend on you
(the visitor and business) to report them.
What we do to deter this type of activity is
require their contact information. If
they do not provide a phone number that we
can call to verify their listing (and we
check each and every one) they don't get
listed... PERIOD!!! When we get a
phone number, that will make it much easier
for authorities to tack down trouble so they can
prosecute; much easier than a temporary e-mail that
can be created on almost any search engine.
If you want more information on our terms
and conditions,
you will find them here.
- How do I report Scammers or
non-family safe content?
If you suspect there is a scammer listed
anywhere on this network, or you have been
phished
report them here. However, if you are a
victim call your local authorities and find
out what the next step is in your area to
file a complaint and PLEASE let us
know ASAP too so we can remove them.
- How do I ask a question not
listed here?
We encourage you to ask questions, it is
what will make this network strong and safe
for the visitors and businesses. Just
click on this link and ask away!
